Slowly the sands in hourglasses fall Though, as far as I'm concerned, the time is stalled I've taken not only a life but all my living for Pathetic anger holding captive all that's rational I never meant to hurt a soul If I had only seen things from your point of view Would I have ever done this all to you And if you could only understand what I believed was true Then I hope that you'd forgive what I felt I needed to do to rescue you The clock is ticking, my heartbeat frozen still Bleeding from the hole you used to fill Without you here I'm nothing more than emptiness Longing for the press of your sweet kiss I cannot live like this If I had only seen things from your point of view Would I have ever done this all to you And if you could only understand what I believed was true Then I hope that you'd forgive what I felt I needed to do to rescue you I'm lying here in silence counting every waking breath Wondering will they be my very last 'Cause the world that I have foolishly created is missing you And darling, you were all I ever had The time reads 9 o'clock as I make my final goodbye I love you Please know I tried I tried
